You want some evidence? You have to know the facts below, and yet you and tens of millions of Americans continue with their addiction:

Sounds like a pretty fierce addiction if in the face of those facts, tens of millions of Americans continue to slowly kill themselves. But let's ask someone who would know, shall we?

As for the effect of tobacco vs. other drugs, there are studies on that as well:

If I come off as harsh on this topic, it's because I have watched someone die of emphysema, begging, choking and gasping for air after a lifetime of smoking. It was a horrific way to go and it was 100% preventable.

Quit now. Do it for your family, who most likely want you around in the future. And yes, I'm aware that chewing tobacco leads to death in different ways than smoking. It's still preventable death and ill health for no real reason.

I didn't deny the health risks they are serious. If it's harder to beat then heroin then I must have some weird ability to kick heroin if I wanted to try it. I quit chewing 3 times for minimum 4 months with 0 side effects and 0 withdraws. I started back up because I like the taste. On top of that the quit smoking campaign that doctors provide pamphlets for say within a week you will have less than one craving, within 2 you will have 0 cravings. Heroin (never done it so i'm speaking on things that are said in anti drug classes and what not) said you will have cravings for the rest of your life.

Shoving pieces of raw tobacco and tiny slivers of irritants into your lip in an attempt to get high. Then, soon after that, in an attempt to fend off withdrawal symptoms. It's like being a heroin addict, but with a little longer life expectancy and less jail time.

I get those. My entire lip area is gray from dipping for 6 years. I just had my teeth clean he said while of course dipping isn't good, that it wasn't cancerous. He did of course suggest I quit which he does everytime I go to him. He also said that it's actually more likely you'll get stomach cancer then mouth cancer especially if you don't spit which I am insane and don't and gut it.

You also will one day get a white spot on your cheek almost like you bit it. Just move your chew to the other side and let it heal. What's weird is chew spit doesn't bother it, it's more eating food. Your gums will probably recede it takes a few weeks for them to come back up

Now of course i'm just telling you what you will get with chewing because it's what I get. You should quit and so should I. I usually quit in november or december then always start back up again like a dummy when golf season starts

I swallow when necassary. Like tonight was at a basketball game and had to. Just makes me light headed.

My advice to the op, quit now if you can. Wish I never started. I dont get addicted to stuff, except chew. I dont even enjoy but cant quit, ive tried and just makes me an *******

The addiction is worse than heroin, and if you'd click on the links posted above you'd see scientific studies conducted rather than your general knowledge of drugs.

Why is it that because he's presenting facts that you haven't heard, quite possible don't understand, and choose to be ignorant to, that you choose to use a sarcastic remark as a defense? You dip, if you choose to do it, that's your prerogative. Just don't ignore the facts.

More than likely you will get something on your lip soon enough. It's not all bad though, sometimes its just raw gums or a little cut.

I dip maybe 3-4 times a week, its a good, cheap, buzz, which I like. I feel as if I do it more often the buzz goes away. For any of you who dip regularly, does the buzz go away? I know I can't get a buzz of the fruit flavored ones, but grizzly wintergreen gets me good.
